Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups (225g) long-grain rice, washed, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes and drained

  • salt

  • 2 cups (450ml) water

  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 2 medium onions, shopped

  • 1 2/3 cups (225g) finely shopped cooked ham

  • 2 tbsp petits pois

  • 2 medium tomatoes, blanched, peeled and quartered

  • 1 1/3 cups (225g) frozen peeped shrimp

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten


Method:

  1. Put the rice into a saucepan and pour over the water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and tender, and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from the heat.

  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. When it is hot, add the onions and fry, stirring occasionally, until they are soft. Stir in the ham, petits pois, tomatoes, shrimps and remaining salt and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the cooked rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the remaining ingredients and stir-fry of 2 minutes.

  3. Transfer the mixture to a warmed serving bowl and serve at once.
